A banker was on holiday. He was walking on a beautiful beach near a small village. He saw a fisherman in his 1 with a few fish in it.
"Great fish!" he said. " 2 did it take you to catch them?"
"Not very long", answered the fisherman.
"Why didn't you stay at sea longer to catch some more? asked the banker.
"There are just enough fish here to 3 my family, answered the fisherman.
Then the banker asked, But what do you do the rest of the time?
"I sleep late, I play with my kids, 4 I relax. In the evening, I go to see my friends in the village. We drink wine and play the guitar. I'm 5 than you think. Life here isn't as..."
"I have an MBA from Harvard University, the banker 6 ."And I can help you. You're not fishing as much as you can. If you start fishing for longer periods of time, you'll get enough money from selling the fish to buy a bigger boat. Then with the 7 you'll get from catching and selling more fish, you could buy a second boat, and then a third one, and so on. Then 8 selling your fish to shops, you could sell them directly to a fish factory, or even 9 your own factory."
"And then? "asked the fisherman.
"Then you'll be able to leave your little village for the big city, where you could direct the company and you will 10 millions."
"Millions? But then what?
"Then you can retire (退休), live in a small village by the sea, go to the beach, sleep late, play with your kid..."
